when I graduated with my stats degree I walked across the stage and shook the crusty old department chair’s hand. he pulled me in close and whispered in my ear “correlation is causation a lot of the time”

I like to think there are other things more interesting about me than my neurodevelopmental disorder

“You’re making autism your whole personality” When you’re autistic, it quite literally IS your personality

Can’t believe the text-first app attracts people with the “best at communicating over text” neurotype (autism) + the Dopamine Slot Machine app attracts people whose brains are dopamine-starved

Because this app was made for dopamine seeking, hyperlexic, people who enjoy connecting and talking in their head on social media.

This is....also autism

Maria Made in Cosmos ✨@made_in_cosmos

is there something like the opposite of autism where you're exceptionally skilled at reading people and love being around them, and instead of perceiving the world through categories you see it all as divinely connected and full of signs everywhere

A researcher from La Trobe's Olga Tennison Centre cited me and I'm over the moon. I am part of the conversation! Science is happening!

CNN@CNN·11 Mar

In September, officials touted leucovorin as a potential treatment for thousands of children with autism. Now the FDA is walking back from that claim as the drug is approved for a rare genetic condition, not autism. CNN's Meg Tirrell reports. Read more: cnn.it/4rkTOCx

you lot are afraid to admit that ur disability does infact disable u which is why we are left with all these useless dishonest conversations each month

Libriscent@libriscent

Autistic people aren’t bad at socializing. They’re bad at pretending a conversation is meaningful when it isn’t

Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️@DrMBotha·8 Mar

I have either peer reviewed, or been the editor on a chunk of the recent reviews of masking literature as an editor in multiple autism journals and one of the foremost academics in it. Naomi Fisher is misrepresenting the literature to shoehorn it into her thoughts.

no one in academia is cool. absolutely nobody at all.

Mathieu@miniapeur

Academia is like high school. There are the cool kids doing research that everyone talks about, and it's pretty hard to get into those circles.

Research note: Kanner's original N=11 autistics had extremely heterogeneous later outcomes, as generally did the autistics he reported on, as generally did diagnosed autistics in the literature before the "spectrum" became a thing (just a reminder, in case anyone's forgotten)

I know that major manufacturers have basically abandoned the True Portable form factor in favor of Pseudo Portables like the Switch/Deck, but I would really love to see what modern technical standards could squeeze into a body of this size.

I'm thinking the way to deal with this is to emphasize to my students how much I want to hear their personal voice.
